From the reviews
Professor Alex Lane is the real deal when it comes to the art of Jiujitsu. I have had the pleasure coming up with Alex from white to purple. During that time he has always been a student of the game paying attention to the details.
Professor Alex is a top tier instructor with years of experience! I’ve always enjoyed learning from him because he is skilled, patient, and really cares about his students. His academy, Fast Lane Jiu Jitsu, is an awesome place to train too and even has a sauna! Highly recommend everyone check this place out.
I had an amazing first session at Fastlane Jitsu Academy with Professor Alex Lane! Thursday nights are nonstop competition rounds, and the intensity here is on another level. Even after two years of training jiujitsu, I was pushed far beyond my comfort zone in the best way possible.
Professor Alex Lane is by far the best Bjj coach. Great w kids and adults! If you want to shed lbs off this is the place for you. Great for begginers all the way up to advanced. 10/10 recommend!
New to BJJ? Start at Fast Lane Jiu Jitsu Academy
Fast Lane Jiu Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Fast Lane Jiu Jitsu Academy
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
